British technology company Humanoid said on Wednesday it will deploy humanoid robots at German industrial supplier Schaeffler’s factories under a deal that marks one of the robot maker’s largest planned manufacturing rollouts.
Humanoid Chief Executive Artem Sokolov told Reuters the plan covers an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 robots across Schaeffler’s global manufacturing sites by 2032. The companies did not disclose the contract value. An initial rollout is scheduled from December 2026 to June 2027 at two German sites.
The first phase will focus on box handling in Herzogenaurach and on testing near-full-scale operations in Schweinfurt, Sokolov said. Humanoid will also help Schaeffler integrate the robots into existing factory lines.
